htmx 0.1.2 Release

I'm pleased to announce the 0.1.2 release of htmx as well as the first non-alpha hyperscript release 0.0.2 hyperscript.

Changes

Breaking Changes

• The SSE attribute hx-sse and the Web Sockets attribute hx-ws have changed syntax to now use colon separators: hx-sse='connect:/chat swap:message'
• Hyperscript no longer requires a _hyperscript.start() call to initialize.

New Features

• The SSE attribute hx-sse allows for swapping content directly on an event, in addition to triggering an htmx element, with the new swap:<event name> syntax.
• hx-target now supports a find syntax to find elements below the element by a CSS selector
• htmx plays better with deferred loading and many package managers
• All htmx events are dispatched in both camelCase as well as kebab-case, for better compatibility with AlpineJS and other frameworks. (e.g. htmx:afterOnLoad will also be triggered as htmx:after-on-load)

Bug Fixes

• The synthetic revealed trigger event is much less of a CPU hog
• Multi-select elements now send all values
• Exotic element IDs do not break DOM processing
• Exotic attribute values do not break the settling phase
• Hyperscript now supports $ and _ in function calls
• Hyperscript now supports empty parameter lists

Enjoy!
